A gynoecium is the female reproductive part of a flower, the male part of a flower is called androecium. A gynoecium is composed of one or more pistils. A pistil may consist of a single carpel, the flower is named "apocarpous", or of a number of carpels that have merged, in which case there is only one pistil to each plant.
